Webinars - Good idea

My firm has been offeriing webinars to the staff and clients.

At first I had no clue what a webinar was. When I asked about them I was told it was new approach to get information out to the firm and to our clients without using the old approach of sending out fliers and pamphlets that are outdated. People can just log on and listen along to get the information needed.

After learning a little more about them I realized this was a good idea.

New Media - A shock to the old fashioned

Until I started this course I really wasn't familiar with many terms that have been discussed up to date. I guess you can call me old school, as I still believe in reading newspapers and listening to the radio. I probably don't have to look to hard and I could probably find a walkman in my house.



Okay being I do have a job and do have to contact clients I use e-mail, but the phone is still my best friend when contacting clients . Until a year ago I had a cell phone but did'nt even use it. Now I am forced to walk around with a Blackberry, and email and text clients It took some getting used to.

As I discussed some terms with my colleagues, the younger ones knew exactly what I was talking about. The older ones were just as clueless as I was.
